It's not a matter of admitting whether or not you're overweight, its feeling good about yourself. saying "Yes, i'm a big beautiful woman" Sounds alot better than "Yeah... i'm fat" Dont you think? saying bbw makes your self esteem boost where as calling yourself fat is kinda a downer

If I have to cover the truth with euphemisms, that means I find the truth less than palatable. I am fat. I am also fabulous. I don't need to hide behind a pretty label. I don't think "fat" is an insult. It's merely a descriptive, like "tall" or "blonde".

People don't like to admit that they have been stay too close to the fork and too far away from the treadmill....lol Its not really that people it a lot as much as what they eat. Its so easy, convenient, and cheap to eat fast/processed food here in the states. Most adult lives are also very busy and hectic that by the time they get home they dont want or dont have time to workout. (you would be surprised how stuff we have has unnatural ingredients in it, from most breads to soup)

Now their may be more that have to work harder than others do to genetics, but minus a medical condition I think everyone can be a healthy weight if could just find out what works for them and stick with it. (which can be harder than it sounds)

I agree Chaz. Very often, when I have spent a significant amount of time with overweight folks, they sometimes have no understanding of nutrition and caloric intake. Not always of course, but in my personal experience I am referencing now. So when they think they are not eating very much, it might be true. Its WHAT they are eating that might be causing the problem.

Why can't women just say they are fat instead of coming up with some label to hide behind.I'm fat and when you see me its obvious there is junk in the trunk so why do people fear a mere three letter word? Why does it bother you how others refer to themselves? it doesnt.i just hate the term bbw.

I suppose you can eat too much fruit and yogurt, though.

I suppose you can eat too much fruit and yogurt, though. Yogurt is a tricky one. You really want to eat the non fat. You are still getting the good aspects of it without the fat. The fat inclusive ones taste creamier and better of course but a lot of non-fat brands are just as good and you adjust. Same with using non-fat milk. It just takes a little time to get used to it. Then the whole milk or even 1% begins to taste like drinking cream. Much too rich. A lot of dairy is like that. Its good BUT in moderation. And then you get into the simple math aspect of it. Your caloric intake can not exceed your requirements. That’s the easy part though. Also the more exercise you do, the less hungry you will feel over time. It happens quicker than you think. It’s due to the hike in metabolism that WILL happen. Make sure everything else is going okay for you as far as your health of course.
